藥物相互作用
- ACE Inhibitors (e.g., enalapril, benazepril): NSAIDs can reduce effects on blood pressure. Concurrent use may increase the risk for renal injury due to reduced renal blood flow.
- Aspirin: May increase the risk of gastrointestinal toxicity (ulceration, bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea). A multi-day washout period is warranted when switching.
- Corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone): May significantly increase the risk of gastrointestinal toxicity (ulceration, bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea).
- Digoxin: NSAIDs may increase serum levels of digoxin.
- Fluconazole: May increase plasma levels of deracoxib (extrapolated from human celecoxib data).
- Furosemide: NSAIDs may reduce saluretic and diuretic effects.
- Methotrexate: Serious toxicity has occurred when NSAIDs are used concomitantly; use with extreme caution.
- Nephrotoxic Drugs (e.g., aminoglycosides, amphotericin B): May enhance the risk of developing nephrotoxicity.
- Other NSAIDs: May increase the risk of gastrointestinal toxicity (ulceration, bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea).
